I’m sorry, dude, but now these are emotions talking through you, not actual valid points., especially since it’s obvious that your knowledge about MS dates back to 2010, I assume? It had evolved. Massively. So much it became hard to compete with, even if you take the money into accoutn.

You didn’t like it, but the fact is that I am now sitting in a corpo office, part of a body spanning across countries and continents, where what you don’t like and think bad, works well enough that nobody complains. It’s very rich corpo. It can afford a legion of experienced Linux technicians and sysadmins, and yet it prefers to pay money, serious money for licences in subscription mode. Think about it for a moment - corpos squeeze money of everything. They are greedy, to the point they wouldn’t spare a cent to save a dying man. And yet they prefer to pay for MS.

Once again: Linux/FOSS needs to start to listen to what users actually want. Scornful “this is better, use this” won’t do.

Until it changes, “20xx - the year of Linux”. 😉
